Where would one get one of said gauges?

Roughly 6"x8", same size as my "Caution" signs. As of tomorrow, they will be $25, plus shipping. They do fit nicely into a flat rate envelope, however. Somewhere on the Sale page I have a couple posts with a bunch of stuff as well, if you were curious.

I think I gave new meaning to the word shvitzing. Gahhh. A successful session, however, got two done. Wanted...

My grandfather was an engineer for the northern division of the Bangor and Aroostook, so there's a family history. I had a Lionel set when I was younger. And, I almost wore ...
